Janet Jackson is said to be desperately trying to drop the pounds she has gained for her world tour.

Yo-yo dieter Janet Jackson is said to be desperate to lose weight for her world tour. The 42-year-old singer has reportedly gained a two stone in the past five months. And she's said to be keen to shed almost three stone in time for the world tour.

"Janet's such an extreme yo-yo dieter. She's piled on the pounds really quickly over the summer, and is now desperate to lose 40lb, just over three stone, in time for her world tour," Daily Mail quoted a source as saying. "But Jermaine has been stocking the fridge with pizza, fried chicken, chocolate and ice-cream. It's causing friction in their relationship," the source added.

Janet was said to have had an ongoing battle with her weight for years. In 2006, she gained 4st and lost it in four months. By July 2007, she's photographed looking bulky again after regaining some of the weight. Thus, the "All For You" hitmaker, who now has a nutritionist and a chef, is sticking to a "strict diet of 1,700 calories a day".

The sister of Michael Jackson, who has battled with her weight in the past, had once told Access Hollywood that she hates working out. "I don't have a favourite workout, I hate them all. I'm being so honest with you and I know it sounds terrible. I'm not at all nervous about the tour though, I'm excited," she told Access back in 2007.
